RANT, O Lord, that as we
are baptized into the death of thy blessed Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, so by
continual mortifying our corrupt affections we may be buried with him; and that
through the grave, and gate of death, we may pass to our joyful resurrection ;
for his merits, who died, and was buried, and rose again for us, thy Son Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen. 
T is better,
if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he
might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the
Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which
sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days
of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were
saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good
conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into
heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being
made subject unto him.
HEN the even
was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself
was Jesus' disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then
Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body,
he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he
had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the
sepulchre, and departed. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary,
sitting over against the sepulchre. Now the next day, that followed the day of
the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After
three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure
until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and
say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse
than the first. Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as
sure as ye can. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone,
and setting a watch.
